I've been told by liberal democrats that separation of church and state are in the constitution in the First Amendment. I read it over and over and it's not there! You don't suppose those liberal democrats would lie to me, do you?

Hello!

Repeatedly!

[retrokitten]

Yea!! New thread!! Great opening post!

[anniegetyourgun]

I understand the Knights of Columbus played a significant role in bringing the addition of "under God" to our pledge.

Thanks for starting the thread. I am sick to death of hearing about the "wall of separation" or "separation of church and state." There is absolutely nothing in the Constitution, nor in any of the writings of the founding fathers, including the Declaration of Independence (especially the Declaration of Independence) that supports such a concept.

I recommend to everyone a book by David Barton (whom I knew in college), "Original Intent," which should put to rest the ideas that 1) the founding fathers were Deists, not Christians; 2) they were hostile to religious expression; or 3) they would approve of Wednesday's ruling, the prohibition against prayer in school, the prohibition against towns having Christmas displays or any of the liberal crap that has been foisted on us in the past few decades thanks to the perverted view judges have taken of the First Amendment.

Guilders, If any California members are still logged on:
When the House today voted on this pledge issue, only 3 members voted 'No', i.e., they support the Circuit Court ruling against the pledge. Two 'nos' were Pete Stark (Fremont/East Bay) and Mike Honda (San Jose/Santa Clara), two of the most left-wing whackos in all CA. Please, please, please telephone:
Rep. Michael Honda - 408-244-8085.
Rep. Pete Stark - 510-494-1388.

Great Job, BWB!

What is it with these libbers? Doris Kearns Goodwin is now on TV lecturing us that it's not at all clear the Pledge ruling won't be upheld....because FDR would have opposed the addition of "under God". Huh?

For DKG, if it didn't involve FDR or LBJ, it DNH...(Did Not Happen).

Also, isn't it funny how that atheist daddy all of a sudden has all those death threats on his answering machine?! When is the media going to get clued in that the libs long ago learned that faking death threats somehow makes their case more sympathetic to the media?

I've decided liberals don't tell lies. They ARE lies!

What an excellent splash - thank you.

I'm reposting Ike's thoughts:

"In this way we are reaffirming the transcendence of religious faith in America's heritage and future; in this way we shall constantly strengthen those spiritual weapons which forever will be our country's most powerful resource in peace and war."

Let's have a great day everyone.

Bring Billy home now.
